Super Junior Leeteuk and Red Velvet Irene's performance stirred up controversy on social media.
At the recent SMTOWN concert in Chile, Irene joined Super Junior for "Lo Siento" stage. Several netizens claimed Leeteuk made Irene uncomfortable by adding unnecessary touches during the dance.
However, fans are defending Leeteuk, stating the original choreograph requires him to put his hands on the partner's waist.
Wow, people are so dense. Did you even watch the Lo Siento MV or the stages w/KARD?? IT'S THE SAME EXACT CHOREOGRAPHY! Hand on hip & do a lil shuffle. He even stayed a whole foot behind Irene. Teukie doesn't deserve this kind of backlash. #Leeteuk #LeaveTeukieAlone #SuperJunior pic.twitter.com/LYkzHgjELS

im clearly not in a place to decide what irene feels abt all this or if that was rly how leeteuk always did the choreo+it's so easy to come up w/ multiple assumptions from watching a lq vid but i just wish ppl were more considerate&respectful of other ppl in whatever situation :/

Leeteuk also seems to be frustrated with the issue as he 'liked' an #ApologizeToLeeteuk post on Instagram.

People are weird, imagine babying your idol to the point that a whole ass almost 30 year old woman can’t be in close proximity with an opposite gender during a performance.
